	One of the great issues with temporal mechanics is that of paradoxes. By far the most famous of these is the so called "grandfather paradox". This occurs when a time traveler kills their own grandfather, therefore preventing the birth of one of their parents and ultimately of themselves. Since the time traveler was never born, then they cannot have traveled back in time to kill their grandfather. Yet if their grandfather is not killed, then the time traveler is indeed born and can then perform the murder successfully. And so on.
